I finished puzzle #601 in 8 minutes, 4 seconds

I spent too long trying not to use notes and getting nowhere…

Also, You’re welcome! I’m glad it worked!!

I think Blueline/brownline (sold at staples) are Canadian made but they don’t have pretty pictures unfortunately… They might be an option if you can’t find anything else.

I have used their calendars and planners before and they are decent quality and very practical, and come in multiple layouts and sizes.

I finished puzzle #600 in 1 hour, 19 minutes, 34 seconds

Phew!! I had to restart 40 minutes in, then had to work backwards from the end a second time to find my mistakes. I kept getting to the end and having missing numbers/doubles. But I made it… Wasn’t sure if I would!

Definitely a challenge

I haven’t finished this puzzle yet, it’s pretty tricky so far, but my game does clear notes for me… I wonder why that is. It also won’t let me put down a note for a number that is already used…

Edit, I think you just need to toggle this setting in the menu!

It seems like it should be fine in very small amounts, and make sure the dog can’t accidentally ingest any of it.

So a bouquet of lavender stems on the shelf shouldn’t be a problem, but lavender oil is so much more concentrated than a flower on a stem, so definitely don’t use directly on the dog and don’t use an oil diffuser in a small room with the dog present at all.

The article you linked is trying to promote its own brand of cleaners, so it may be a little confusing, but I think it boils down to “use sparingly and safely, and if in doubt don’t use it at all”

ASPCA lists lavender as toxic to dogs

Dogster gives slightly more nuanced information showing it’s toxic if ingested in high amounts.

VetExplains gives detailed information and suggests talking to your vet if in doubt.

Why did they cost a font that looks like a ransom note. 😂

I agree, more pics of the dog.

I finished puzzle #595 in 2 minutes, 37 seconds

For real, this time.

Ah, whoops. I do that sometimes when I look up the puzzle myself instead of the link you shared. I’ll fix that.

At first I was just kinda throwing random lights around but then I figured out the methodology. That was fun!

Also I forgot how to read again(just for a second) and picked the wrong option on c2.
